BTW i still have ALL the PM'S from this guy....so the Moderators can check them out....i authorise this to be done.
ANY responses from the seller i can make them public if need be.
Thanks.

Wow I almost did a deal with him a couple months ago, good thing I was broke at the second.

Damn, sorry to see you're having issues here. I dealt with SB on a big sale within the last year and he seemed like a standup guy. Hopefully he will come forward and explain himself and be willing to do what it takes to fix the sale. That's a lot of money to be out so I can understand your frustration.

Bummer. Sucks to see. I sold him my MOTW cart a while back. I still regret doing that and have yet to replace it.

Gold, really hope you can get this resolved. Thats a whole lot of money to go missing. The guy hasn't logged on in a month though, and it looks like this isn't the first time something like this has happened.

Well guys..you sure as S@#% cannot judge a book by its cover right!?...
I don't really have a great feeling either of recovering my losses...i'll let you know here tho...
I don't like exposing folk like this..but if it stops someone else getting scammed then so be it...i gave the guy so many many chances to make things right.

Whoa.... Sorry to read about this my friend. I'm guessing PayPal has suspended his account? He's going to need to reestablish himself soon enough before Christmas so keep staying at it and I'm sure you'll get some resolution.
Try to search for him on the internet to see if he's currently lurking around on another forum or just to make sure he's still among the living.

Sue them in court. Take the win from there and have it posted to their credit report.

Dunno how it is there but it's only $50 to file in small claims court in Texas.

I had the same thing happen and have been waiting for over 3 years now and it still shows as an open issue on Pay Pal, but I know they will never get me my money back. It is just a reminder everytime I log into Pay Pal how crappy their service is. Hope you get your money back though!

Wow. Good thing I saw this thread in time. He has an ebay account name under fear-da-spear. I happened to be bidding on one of his current items when I saw this thread.

It has to be same guy. His ebay name is the same is his email under his paypal account, and both are based in Alachua, FL.

WOW Neo Gold, that sucks F**king ass.

Don't know why people still use paypal, I've never trusted them and been ripped off by every way possible with them being in the equation.

If I was you I'd use Buy it Now on all his auctions and leave him negative feedback on everyone of his auctions, that should piss him off for a start.... bid away

Paypal won't know about it. You have an account you don't care about?
In each feedback you can tell everyone how you got ripped off by him.

Can't believe how people get away with this shit now days, not many genuine sellers left and the ones that are ok have something to hide or treat you like an ass.

Not to piss you off, but I doubt you'll get any money back dude.

P.S. Shame you didn't get it too, as I have some STV carts on the way I don't want

Neo_Gold, I won an item from him on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230185042316&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=013

However, I won't pay it until he comes into this forum and explains his actions. That should get his attention. Either he comes in and rights a wrong, or I simply won't pay. At least it might help us find out where he stands.

You're welcome. I will keep you informed.

Damn Marc... I'm really sorry to hear about this. I was thinking about buying those ST-V carts myself. We got some real sleuths here, so maybe we can figure it out. I hope it all works out.

Update

Today, Sonic Blast (aka fear-da-spear on ebay) opened an unpaid item dispute against me for the item I won from him on ebay.

I responded by pointing out that I will only pay after he addresses this situation with Neo_Gold's $485. Otherwise, he is a scammer and I am not sending him any money.

Let us see what happens.

Haha, thats awesome Waseem.

Many many thanks for doing this my friend...its greatly appreciated...
If he pay's me back he can right an almighty wrong here...its a lot of money for me to lose...

Looks like the guy hasn't been on since September.

Sucks to hear this happen to you; I was one of the first people to deal with him, seemed like a swell guy.

However, iirc, there was another incident with him...can't really remember it, this was a few years ago.

Might as well face it that you'll never get your money back, I sent a PM to him but I doubt he'll log in again. His e-mail appears to be a joke as well (enormous cocks).

And of course he wont get any sort of rank that reflects his scams...

He'll probably be back after a few months and rip someone else off...

He'll Fear the spear alright when i take my holiday in the states soon...

Scammer

Do you know where this guy is located.?
